Pergulatan Perempuan dalam Revolusi Fisik di Bali

This study discusses the role of women in the Physical Revolution in Bali. The appearance of a woman in the history of politics in Bali as a leader has been seen since ancient Balinese times. However, the rise of women seems to have only been seen when the government established the Shanti Girls School. Armed with knowledge and experience in the field of organization, Balinese women are aware of the importance and meaning of independence for a nation. When the Dutch colonial government and NICA troops returned to occupy Bali in March 1946, women played a very important role in defending the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. Women played various roles, such as in the logistics sector as a member of the soup kitchen in charge of providing various types of food to the fighters; in the health sector by helping fighters who were injured and also supplying various types of medicine to the fighters; as a liaison in charge of conveying information on the state of the fighters and the state of the enemy to the leader of the fighters.

Food assistance in Portugal: organizational challenges in three different contexts

PurposeDrawing on an ethnographic research study, developed in three different food assistance initiatives (FAIs) operating in Portugal, this article seeks to explore the elements that characterize them and the main organizational challenges they face.Design/methodology/approachParticipant observation was carried out in a surplus food redistribution charity, a soup kitchen and a social supermarket, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with supervisors of these FAIs. The study followed an inductive coding strategy, and a thematic analysis was developed.FindingsThe main results point to an appreciation of the initiatives and the role they play, but they also highlight the existence of several challenges, mainly related to: 1) difficulties in accessing sources of funding, 2) the absence of an intervening state and 3) a scarcity of resources that allow a thorough assessment of their activities and services provided, which weakens the public image of these responses.Originality/valueThe development of food assistance in Europe has a long history. Over the past few years, this sector has grown significantly. Nowadays, it is possible to identify several realities around emergency food provision. However, this heterogeneity has not been sufficiently explored in the literature. In addition, there are few studies that report on the variety of initiatives that coexist in Portugal and establish a comparison between them. The current paper intends to overcome this gap by seeking to understand the main models of food assistance operating in the country.

A könyvtárak az új digitális világban

According to Umberto Eco, books share their fates with their readers. Carrying the idea forward, not only books but also libraries share their fates with their readers. The state of a society is well illustrated by the state of its libraries and how to access information resources. The aim of the presentation is to examine the impact of libraries and their services on the neoliberal economic environment and the expanding process of commodification. Nicholas Negroponte (MIT) stated in 2010 that the physical book will be dead in five years. Although his provocative forecast has not been confirmed, the ratio of online resources in the acquisition of libraries is increasing. Technology companies have approached libraries to digitize their printed collection. Then the digital contents were sold, or used in accordance with their commercial interests to expand the advertising network. Information companies offered e-journals in large bundles for sale to libraries. Despite their promise, the price of digital publications has not become cheaper, but prices have risen steadily. The economic crisis of the early 2000s led to the closure of many public libraries. However libraries cannot become an information soup kitchen, where equal access to data and information hides the fact that there is inequality in access to meaningful information or important knowledge. The tasks of teaching library is not only to teach library and research skills, navigation on web, information retrieval from databases and how acting a law-abiding information consumer. Libraries can teach about information production and current information economics in part of information literacy. Libraries play a role in electronic publishing through their digital collections and repositories.

DESAIN DAPUR UMUM PORTABLE UNTUK PENANGGULANGAN BENCANA ALAM

Indonesia is prone to disaster. In dealing with disasters, especially in meeting the needs of the logistics required for the victims eating soup kitchen. Common kitchen that exist today are generally in the form of tents, houses are used as shelters, or modified cars. Common kitchen there was an emergency, sober, and its location can not approach the scene. Of this problem is in the design of a common kitchen for natural disaster relief, which can meet the needs of officers, as well as victims. The resulting soup kitchen design can accommodate logistics taste, giving space for officers, protected from external environmental conditions, and can be placed in a location close to the scene. In general kitchen design is done by Pahl and Beitz method in the design of products with the steps that Planning andexplanation task, the concept of product design, product design shape, and design details. For data collection using the Individual Questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion This result will be obtained attributes required in the design. The results of the research is a common kitchen design for a portable natural disaster easily assembled and disassembled, can be established at the site of diverse, easy to operate, and is able to accommodate facilities and needs. Common kitchen designs produced in the form of large-scale three-dimensional model, a blueprint for technical specifications, which can proceed to the production phase. Indonesia merupakan daerah rawan bencana. Dalam menangani bencana, utamanya dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan logistik makan untuk para korban diperlukan dapur umum. Dapur umum yang ada saat ini umumnya berupa tenda peleton, rumah (bangunan) yang dijadikan posko, atau mobil yang dimodifikasi. Dapur umum yang ada sifatnya darurat, seadanya dan lokasinya tidak bisa mendekati tempat kejadian. Dari masalah tersebut perlu didesain dapur umum untuk penanggulangan bencana alam, yang bisa memenuhi kebutuhan, petugas maupun korban. Desain dapur umum yang dihasilkan mampu menampung logistik secukupnya, memberi ruang untuk petugas, terlindungi dari kondisi lingkungan luar, dan bisa ditempatkan di lokasi dekat kejadian. Dalam mendesain dapur umum ini dilakukan dengan metode Pahl dan Beitz dalam perancangan produk dengan langkah-langkah yaitu Perencanaan dan penjelasan tugas, Perancangan konsep produk, Perancangan bentuk produk, dan Perancangan detail. Untuk pengumpulan data menggunakan metode Individual Questionnaire dan Focus Group Discussion yang hasilnya ini akan didapatkan atribut yang diperlukan dalam desain. Hasil dari penelitian berupa desain dapur umum untuk penanggulangan bencana alam yang portable mudah dirakit dan dibongkar, bisa didirikan di lokasi yang beraneka ragam, mudah dioperasikan, serta mampu menampung fasilitas dan kebutuhan. Desain dapur umum yang dihasilkan dalam bentuk model tiga dimensi berskala, blue print spesifikasi teknis, yang bisa dilanjutkan ke tahap produksi.

Soup kitchens: The stigma of being poor and the construction of social identity

This project involved an ethnographic study that documented how homeless individuals who frequent local soup kitchens view themselves and how they manage the stigma that can be associated with this population. Qualitative techniques of observation and brief conversations over a 3-year period with more than 100 soup kitchen participants constituted the data. Findings of this project confirm the earlier work of Goffman and more recent work where clear stigma responses and identities were observed in homeless and low-income adults.

From the Classical Soup Kitchen to the Irish Famine

This chapter describes how the soup kitchen, based on an Elizabethan model but subsequently scaled up to meet the vast needs of a new urban underclass, became a standardized technology of relief by the middle of the nineteenth century. It returns to Alexis Soyer as well as a man called Count Rumford, who brought the soup kitchen into the modern age. Count Rumford's commitment to everyday reform generated a new word, “rumfordizing,” which meant improving and refining something in accordance with natural laws. In the 1790s he started to rumfordize the soup kitchen. With Rumford's help, the soup kitchen developed to meet the scale of need in urban areas, culminating in Alexis Soyer's “soup-shop of soup-shops” in Dublin. Rumford's vision of the soup kitchen, however, acted as a pivot between the classical and modern periods, before nutritional science emerged onto the scene.
